By downloading or using Synaxis ("the App") on Android, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
Evelaina grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Android devices you own or control, for your own personal use, subject to these Terms and the Google Play Terms of Service.
Synaxis is a personal devotional companion. It computes the Orthodox fasting and feast calendar, shows the day's fasting guidance and commemorations, presents traditional prayers, and offers a Jesus-Prayer counter. It is an aid for your own prayer and observance.
⚠️ A devotional aid — your parish is the authority. Orthodox fasting rules, feast dates, and liturgical practice vary by jurisdiction (Old / New Calendar; Greek, Antiochian, Russian, OCA, and others) and by local parish and your spiritual father's direction. Synaxis presents a careful, mainstream reckoning, but it is not an authoritative liturgical ruling and is not a substitute for your priest, parish, or jurisdiction. For how to keep the fast and observe the feasts, follow your parish and spiritual father. Prayer texts are traditional, public-domain English provided as an aid to personal prayer.
Synaxis Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase (current local pricing is shown by Google Play in the App). It permanently unlocks the Pro features on your Google Account. It is not a subscription — there is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel.
The fasting calendar, feasts, daily prayers, and the Jesus-Prayer counter are free for everyone; Pro adds the wider saints' lives library, the full Daily Prologue, additional audio, playback speed and sleep timers, planning, prayer history, family reminders and personalization features. Today's principal saint's life and today's Hymn are free to read; today's Gospel and principal saint's life are also free to listen to where available.
Synaxis for Android includes a home-screen fasting widget, optional fasting-day reminders and listening through an installed offline English Android voice. Alternate icons, family reminder notifications and additional reading and audio features require Synaxis Pro. Finding and saving family name-days remain free. Voice availability and quality depend on your device's speech engine; Android battery restrictions may delay reminders.
